Research
Topics of the research group are:
(1) Generating a thorough, quantitative understanding on deformation processes ranging from aseismic slip to brittle failure in earthquakes.
(2) Characterizing precursory processes preceding the occurrence of large earthquakes in relation to both plate-bounding transform faults and reservoir engineering activities.
These topics are being investigated within two very different environments : Strike-slip plate boundaries and Fluid-induced seismicity
